Controlling Cubase SX Input Channel Controls Faders 1-24 control the levels of Cubase channels 1-24. Refer to the User Defined Keys description below for information about accessing Cubase channels beyond 1-24. The first four characters of the names of the Cubase channels appear in the LCD display when the CHANNEL display is selected with the F3 display page switch. Also PAN position is displayed here and can be adjusted with the channels rotary encoders. 02R96 s ON switches control Cubase s channel MUTEs and the SOLO and SEL switches also control Cubase s corresponding functions. 02R96 s AUTO switches control Cubase s Automation Read and Write functions. By changing the 02R96 s ENCODER MODE to AUX, Cubase s SENDS can be controlled. You can select Sends 1-5 with the 02R96 s AUX SELECT switches. Then the channel rotary encoders can adjust send level (this can be seen in the LCD CHANNEL display) and send ON/OFF. When the send is Pre Fade, the small dot above the channel name in the LCD display is filled in. 5

EQ Functions These are controlled by the four encoders below the 02R96 s LCD screen, once the INSERT display is chosen by pressing the F2 display page switch. For the selected channel, pressing encoder 1 will switch on or off an EQ band. Turning encoder 2 will control the Gain, encoder 3 controls frequency and encoder 4 controls Q-factor. The parameter up/down switches to the left of the encoders can be used to scroll through the EQ bands: Low, Low-Mid, Hi-Mid or Hi.

If "Seconds" is selected in Cubase, then the 02R96 will not display any selection). If METER is selected by the F4 display page switch, then the level meters can be viewed on the LCD screen. This is useful if the meter bridge option is not fitted.
